God : Hello. Did you call Me?Me : Called you? No. Who is this?
God : This is GOD. I heard your prayers. So I thought I would chat.
Me : I do pray. Just makes me feel good. I amactually busy now. I am in the midst of something..
God : What are you busy at? Ants are busy too.
Me : Don't know. But I can't find free time. Lifehas become hectic. It's rush hour all the time.
God : Sure. Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you results. Activity consumes time. Productivity frees it.
Me: I understand. But I still can't figure out. By the way, I was not expecting YOU to buzz me on instant Messaging chat.
God : Well I wanted to resolve your fight for time, bygiving you some clarity. In this net era, I wanted to reach you through the Medium you are comfortable with.
Me: Tell Me, why has life become complicated now?God : Stop analyzing life. Just live it. Analysis is what makes it complicated.
Me: why are we then constantly unhappy?
God : Your today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday. You are worrying because you are analyzing. Worrying has become your habit. That's why you are not happy.
Me: But how can we not worry when there is so much uncertainty?
God : Uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying is optional.
Me: But then, there is so much pain due to uncertainty. .
God: Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.
Me: If suffering is optional, why do good people always suffer?
God : Diamond cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people go through trials, but don't suffer. With that experience life become better not bitter.
Me: You mean to say such experience is useful?
God : Yes. In every term, Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the test first and the lessons afterwards.
Me: But still, why should we go through such tests?Why cant we be free from problems?
God : Problems are Purposeful Roadblocks Offering Beneficial Lessons (to) Enhance Mental Strength. Inner strength comes from struggle and endurance, not when you are free from problems.
Me: Frankly in the midst of so many problems, we don't know where we are heading..
God : If you look outside you will not know where youare heading. Look inside. Looking outside, your dream. Looking inside, you awaken. Eyes provide sight. Heart provides insight.
Me: Sometimes not succeeding fast seems to hurt morethan moving in the right direction. What should I do?
God : Success is a Measure as decided by others.Satisfaction is a Measure as decided by you. Knowing the road head is more satisfying than knowing you rode ahead. You ork with the compass. Let others work with the clock.
Me: In tough times, how do you stay motivated?
God : Always look at how far you have come rather than how far you have to go.Always count your blessing, not what you are missing.
Me: What surprises you about people?
God : When they suffer they ask, "why Me?" When theyprosper, they never ask "Why Me" Everyone wishes to have truth ontheir side, but few want to be on the side of the truth.
Me: Sometimes I ask, who am I, why am I here. Ican't get the answer.
God : Seek not to find who you are, but to determine who you want to be.Stop looking for a purpose as to why you are here.Create it. Life is not a process of discovery but a process of creation.
Me: How can I get the best out of life?
God : Face your past without regret. Handle yourpresent with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear.
Me: One last question. Sometimes I feel my prayersare not answered.
God : There are no unanswered prayers. At times theanswer is NO.
Me: Thank you for this wonderful chat. I am so happy to start the New Day with a new sense of inspiration.
God : Well. Keep the faith and drop the fear. Don't believe your doubts and doubts your beliefs. Life is a mystery to solve not a problem to resolve. Trust me.Life is wonderful if you know how to live.
:: There is so much from this conversation that we ALL can learn from. This reading is having so much importance in my life now - going somewhere with a spiritual compass, having insight and not sight. This is very good. Thank you Lord. Life is all about choices, be very sure what you make of it and remember always who was the one who first gave you choice. Then remember further, that He made a choice to love you by giving His one and only begotten Son, Jesus so that we may have eternal life. What is your choice today?
::: This is one entry which requires a bookmark so that when I feel mashed up and lost in the world, this conversation will be one of the greatest timely reminders to bend away from the teachings of the world.
Hello mister ee.
happy chinese new year. (dont be L _ _ _ I anymore!)
What an intense yet true and moving piece for all of us Christians who sometimes seem to not forget God on purpose but rather overlook and take forgranted cause He is always there. Sure has moved me and brought my attention back to where the focus should be on - Him.
